TORONTO -- David Ortiz is ready to sprint through the finish line.After mostly sitting on the bench during the Boston Red Soxs three-game interleague series in San Diego earlier this week, Ortiz said he feels refreshed for a 23-game stretch run that began with Friday nights 13-3 win over Toronto and might very well lead to one final postseason appearance for him in what he says will be his final season.I feel good right now. Im feeling good, said Ortiz, who at 40 has dealt with persistent soreness in his feet and heels throughout a farewell season in which he has been historically successful. Im not going to lie -- those days in San Diego, not playing makes your body feel good. They mess with your timing a little bit, but I was swinging in the cage just now, and Im feeling good. It feels good.Ortiz was back in his usual No. 3 spot in the Red Soxs batting order and went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored against the Blue Jays, who?with Fridays loss fell to two games behind Boston in a mad scramble for the American League East crown. The Baltimore Orioles were only two games off the pace, and the surging New York Yankees were four games back.All of the Red Soxs remaining games are against AL East opponents, including five more against the Blue Jays.Its going to be a good series, Ortiz said. Both teams are competing for first place in the division with pretty much three weeks left. You want to make sure you end up in first place so you dont end up playing in that one [wild-card] playoff game and can play a three-out-of-five series.On the occasion of his last regular-season trip to Toronto, Ortiz was asked a familiar question: Is he having any second thoughts about retirement at a time when hes batting .319 with 31 homers, 107 RBIs and an MLB-leading 1.030 OPS? He gave perhaps his most definitive answer yet that hes ready to step aside.Ive been so busy this year that I cant wait, Ortiz said. I have been on since day one, doing things here and there, which is fine. I really appreciate the fact that people have been showing so much love and respect for what I do. I have been super busy, and at some point you want a break. My whole focus right now is going to the playoffs.Ortiz received two custom Canada Goose jackets as a gift from the Blue Jays, who also made a far more meaningful $10,000 donation to his charitable foundation to help in the fight against pediatric cancer.Nike Vapormax Italia .

The Badgers led 30-10 at halftime.We had a plan and it would have taken a few other things for us being able to do, Akron coach Terry Bowden said.

The senior rushed for 111 yards on 21 carries before departing late in the second quarter.Clement said he could have returned if he was needed.We were able to be a little overprotective maybe, Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said.Akrons only touchdown came on JoJo Natsons 55-yard punt return in the second.THE TAKEAWAYAKRON: The Zips had a few moments, dictating tempo for parts of a couple drives in the second quarter with their fast-paced offense. But any momentum was negated by mistakes. Most notably, Akron drove from its own 11 to the 30 on four straight rushes by Warren Ball before the running back fumbled on third-and-2 on what would have been a 38-yard gain. Wisconsin scored nine plays later to go up 23-0.At best, it was a learning experiennce against the bigger, quicker Badgers.dddddddddddd With 15 new starters this season, Akron hopes to contend in the East Division of the Mid-American Conference.Our offense couldnt keep their offense off the field and our defense couldnt keep them off the field, Bowden said.WISCONSIN: Clement tested his ankle on the sideline after getting it wrapped, but never returned. Then again, the Badgers were well on their way to a victory by then.It really didnt feel like 21 carries at all, Clement said. I felt like I could have gone for 41 if I had played the whole game.Otherwise, the Badgers followed through on their collective promise to build on the momentum of the win over LSU at Lambeau Field. Houston, making his second career start, shook off a couple questionable throws for near picks to show off his strong arm. Backups got valuable playing time late in the game, including freshman Bradrick Shaw.

We really just kind of reap the benefits. -- Wisconsin safety Leo Musso, who had an interception against Akron.UP NEXTAkron: The Zips stay on the road to face Marshall on Sept. 17.Wisconsin: The Badgers look to extend their home winning streak against non-conference foes to 37 when they host Georgia State on Sept. 17.---Online: AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
